Before You Call
Things to consider...
Take the time to think about previous trips you have been on; be sure to make a note of all the positives and negatives. Deciding where to go is only the first of many steps in the planning process and 'managing your expectations' is possibly one of the better approaches.
Flexibility is key when it comes to travel, it's good to keep a contingency plan on hand for any issues that may arise due to things such as inclement weather.
If you only have a limited time to explore your destination, you may have to make sacrifices when it comes to ticking a few spots off of your list. If you are someone who would rather take your time to thoroughly experience your destination, be open to trying new things and/or stepping off the beaten path.
Being Prepared...
If you're not sure how much you should be budgeting for your trip, browsing our guided & hosted tour pages may help you get a feel for what you can expect for a land-only price. We would also be more than happy to meet with you to discuss your options.
Please note that your passport needs to be valid for 6 months beyond your planned return date. Don't risk it, some airlines may refuse to allow you to fly with them, as many countries will deny entry to individuals without properly dated documentation. Double-checking the expiry date in plenty of time for your departure is one thing you can do to help ensure a stress-free travelling experience.
“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.”

To get the most from your trip, take your time and plan to stay a couple of days in the locations of your choice. It’s best to see a little and savor it, rather then seeing a lot and not remember most of it.
Enjoy the pubs! Even if you don’t drink, many serve good food in a great atmosphere. You'll have an opportunity to listen to some music and meet the locals.
If our escorted tour dates don’t work for you, we can provide you with custom arrangements tailored to suit your requirements and budget.
From Cottages to Castles...
For all our customized programs you can choose from our personally selected accommodations and mix and match to suit your preferences. We can help you get a full flavor of Ireland by staying in unique accommodations, many run by the same families for generations.
